Here’s a look at standout players in major D1-level games the last two weeks.

We’re tracking NCR D1 and CRAA D1A games and who made impacts in those games.

Aaron Juma, Wheeling

We’ve talked about Juma before but he was enormous for Wheeling in the Big Rivers semis and final, scoring tries, playing terrific defense at flanker, and overall being a game-changer.

Parker Wall and Peyton Wall

The brothers play inside center and outside center for IU and have sparked the Indiana offense as they have rolled to the Big 10 final.

Duncan Krige, Lindenwood

Hard work, toughness in tight, and mature leadership highlight Krige’s excellent performances against Adrian and Davenport.

Adam Chadwick, Life University

The Life Running Eagles hooker has been lights out in set piece, scoring tries, and works hard all around the field as his team beat Army and Mount St. Mary’s.

Joe Sharroc, Mount St. Mary’s

The lock for MSM produced a series of big carries and scored a crucial try in a close win over Queens.

Sean MacLaney, Navy

The Midshipmen scrumhalf run the attack brilliantly for Navy and is always there to scamper across for a try. He was a big part of Navy’s wins over Notre Dame College and Penn State.

Weston Memmott, Southern Virginia

Memmott capped off SVU’s stirring comeback with a try to beat Kutztown 34-33.

Rémy Thomson, Notre Dame College

The aggressive and tenacious scrumhalf sparked an impressive win over St. Bonaventure.

Jacob LaFave and Connor O’Loughlin

The two locks for Michigan State set the tone in their Big 10 semifinal win over Illinois. LaFave scored a try but both were hugely effective.

Sami Mounga and Zeb Mendenhall

The two BYU freshmen combined for six tries and were generally outstanding in a win over Colorado.

Ollie Corbett, Brown

The Brown captain, playing lock, was part of a dominant scrum in their Liberty Conference final, set up several tries, and was generally really strong.

TJ Brugger, Wisconsin

Brugger scored the winning try as the Badgers beat Notre Dame 30-25
